Hello and Happy Anniversary

uglyblanket5This weekend is a crazy work weekend for me…in another part of my life. There will be little time for family snuggles. Last night I was sitting quietly listening to story time. Little B loves stories read by his Daddy. Big B is very good at it and the accents are hilarious. Frequently I use this time to do quick chore; hang out some washing, pair socks, you know the drill. But last night I just sat in the chair in the corner of Little B’s room and listened. Facing me, draped over the end of the bed was the Ugly blanket. It occurred to me that of all the projects I have made this year, this crazy colour mixture has brought me such joy. Funnily enough, Little B moved the blanket from the kitchen to his bedroom. ‘It is mine, and it does have my initials on it!’ He makes a fair point.

So while I was there thinking, ‘Oh my, that it a lot of knitting ‘, it occurred to me that we have gone past rather unceremoniously my 4th blog anniversary. Where did that time go?

Will I continue? I think so. I do love this diary space. Sometimes it feels quite like talking to yourself. I am not a big attractor of comments. But I know there are people out there reading. In fact much easier to imagine that there is no one reading at all. I have deliberately aimed to keep the blog non-commercial. Obviously I want to share magazines and books that feature my patterns. But as you can see I am not running the blog as a business. That would be far to complicated. So we shall keep going, enjoying a little bit of creativity together. Happy Anniversary!

  1. Well done Emma. I love that ‘ugly’ blanket. It will be called that forever and probably move to some university bedroom like Keith House!!! My parents still have a blanket, very pretty but it has the unfortunate name of the’sick’blanket – it hung out with the lurid orange sick basin when we were small and unwell. When you knitted that blanket – you were actually knitting memories that haven’t all quite come to fruition yet. That ‘ugly’ blanket will be able to tell some great stories when it’s all grown up! Love to you and yours!
    PS Daddy in this house does the most hilarious mummy voice in Oliver’s vegetables – it sends us all into convulsions!
